Tuesday's Notebook

August 27, 1986

Osceola Astros outfielder Mike Brown established a professional baseball first, playing 10 positions in a 2-1 Florida State League loss to Winter Haven at Osceola County Stadium. Brown started the game as Osceola's designated hitter, then played each inning at a different defensive position, finishing the game in left field. He also was the losing pitcher, allowing a leadoff double to Victor Rossario in the eighth ining. Rossario scored what proved to be the winning run on a bloop single by Greg Lotzor. The unusual game also included 10 different Astros playing left field -- Brown switching positions with a different player each inning.
